PRE-BLAST: 2020 Yeti…5 Year Anniversary!

2/23/20 Updates:

Parking: Please DO NOT park at WEP but in the parking lot next to WEP behind the Springs building.  There will be plenty of parking and this way, we aren’t taking up the park parking lot for the entire morning.

Where/What time: We will start at WEP and will end at WEP.  Depending on what you are doing: Ruck 0500, Ruck/Bike 0530, Run 0600, Run/Bike 0630, Bike 0700.  The YETI will average about 4 hours so we will be wrapping around 10:00.

After / 2ndF: We will be meeting at Amor Artis as you finish (they’re opening their doors at 10am for us).  We will have food catered from Improper Pig.  Please invite your M (or significant other) and your shorties!  There will be a $10 contribution for food and Amor will gladly take your $ for a frothy beverage which you will need after the YETI.  Please contact Shady with rough numbers for food count.

Original pre-blast:

The time has come for the annual CSAUP of…THE YETI….5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY YETI!!!  The date has been set (no not February because we’re late to the game, we have the Dam to Dam, the Rooster CSAUP in our neighboring region of Rock Hill we should be supporting, etc.).  We missed the mark for Feb ok, so get over it and get ready for early March…talk to the M, and get.it.on.your.calendar!  This also means more prep time for the Qs, you to mentally prepare your bodies, gather your teams (if that’s your jam), make sure your reflective gear isn’t in need for a dusting…all those things.

So get ready for not only some 1st F, but some 2nd F, as you run, ruck, ride, sweat, freeze (wait…freeze? Well, we can’t predict the weather and it will be outside, duh) next to your fellow PAX.  Build that bond, push that guy next to you, and get better!

High level deets…

Why: Well, why not.  It’s stupid and pointless, it’s fun, you’ll do some major bonding with fellow PAX, uh…it’s early and what else do you need to be doing – sleeping….good one!!!!  And did we mention it’s a 5 year anniversary!!  We’re also working on a shirt (yes, this is an annual shirt, not some minnow pond shirt some site Q drummed up to hype up his site…who does that!)  More details coming on the shirt.  And patches…yes, patches!  For those of us that are motivated by patches and want to add another patch to our collection, well, look no further (and there may be another special edition Zima patch…like I said, more things in the works).  (Cost on Yeti patch is approximately $5…more details on this in the near future.)

What: Annually, the YETI makes it’s way to the Fort and we pay our dues and take what the Yeti gives us.  This can be accomplished via a combo of different ways, or just one way: running, rucking, biking, put a team together and break it up.  Modify as needed!  A course will be provided prior to the CSAUP, AO pain stations will exist along the route where PAX will endure whatever said Q tells them, and water/energizing snacks will be provided.  Past years courses range from 14-20 miles…Zima miles will be included this year for those interested.  What’s a Zima mile you ask, you’ll need to ask around on that one.

Who: All PAX…so you, reading this…you’re invited and it will be fun.  Trust us.  Not recommended for younger 2.0 PAX.  If you want to create a team to break up the course, totally fine and modification acceptable…trust us.  PAX do accomplish the YETI on their own as well and it’s doable so don’t be scared and push yourself.  After the Yeti, families are invited to pat you on the back and tell you how stupid you are…or I mean how proud they are of you.

When: Date is above, but in case you glazed right over it in your excitement, it’s Saturday 3/7.  The times tentatively are as follow (but subject to change): Ruck 0500, Run 0600, Ruck/Bike 0600, Run/Bike 0630…you kind of get the idea.  We would expect to be done by 10:00am.  After the Yeti if you’re able to stick around, we will plan to meet at a local establishment for some food/drinks (BBQ maybe) and more 2nd F.

Where: We’ll start and end at WEP (Block Party / The Fort / Millllkshake AO).  Parking at WEP, or potentially in the bigger parking lot next door may be advised.  Food and drinks (and BBQ maybe) location are in the works.  We’ve had to pull in #TheCorner office staff to pull some strings and get the 2nd F training rolling.  Yep, it’s that big of a deal in these parts.  Stay tuned for more updates.
